Probable December Release

@back seat astronaut

From what I've seen so far, the game looks pretty sweet, but it's not like we're expecting it to be the next Zelda or anything.

I think the question is more like whether it's the next Knytt/KS/Within a Deep Forest, or the next FiNCK.

I found FiNCK to be one of Nifflas' best games. I enjoyed it more than Saira and Knytt.

Looks better than Knytt to me, but that's personal preference--I simply love the atmosphere of NightSky.

My point is simply that it doesn't have to be "the next Zelda," but unless it's Nifflas's personal masterwork then it's probably gonna be a bit anticlimactic after all this time.

Oh, it looks masterful all right.

I think that with the release of Saira and FiNCK, the hype crescendo has died off long ago, if you understand me. With such a long delay, the release will never be climatic, especially with the kick-in-the-nuts that was the wiiware-only announcement. The success of NightSky will only rely on its own merits, not on the hype factor, which, if you ask me, will be more than enough.

You shouldn't be hyped really, NightSky is the game in which I learned how to use physics, and my development time on it from my side was shorter than e.g. Knytt Stories and Saira. People who try the game tend to like it a lot though when they get into it.

But hey, there'll be many, many more games from me. There'll be ups and there'll be downs, you'll probably love some of them and hate others. Give it a few years and who knows if you'll see a new Within a Deep Forest game, or another Knytt Stories, or basically any iteration of the type of game I do that you like more. And there's of course also many other awesome game developers who does things you should play if I'm in a period where I design games you aren't into!

I loved FiNCK because it was so unique- one of the best games I've played.. But Saira was just as amazing
